matthewbrice Posted August 25, 2019 Author Report Posted August 25, 2019 As I recall it was Shinto or Shinshinto. I have to check Fujishiro yet. —Matt Quote
Guest Posted August 25, 2019 Report Posted August 25, 2019 Hi Matt, the Kamon is called "Maru Ni Ougi" Quote
vajo Posted August 25, 2019 Report Posted August 25, 2019 Matt can you show us the hole nakago? Quote
matthewbrice Posted August 25, 2019 Author Report Posted August 25, 2019 Yes. I’ll take a photo of the whole nakago tomorrow when I get back home. —Matt 1 Quote

matthewbrice Posted August 25, 2019 Author Report Posted August 25, 2019 Hi Tom. Sure you are. Maybe military koshirae isn’t of interest to you as a collector—which is fine, of course. To the military sword collector, this sword is among the best of the very highest quality military mounts made. Red sharkskin saya, the best fittings, family mon, etc. At any of our U.S. sword shows, this would be the very best Army koshirae sword there—hands down. I travel and exhibit at each of them. What does one pay for an Army sword with a signed nihonto blade—with premium condition—and with premium mounts?? One that is among the prettiest most of us has seen—for many military collectors, a centerpiece Army sword. (Military sword collectors, you know what I mean). Thanks Tom for your question. —Matt 1 Quote
Shamsy Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 Absolutely gorgeous koshirae, Matt. Well priced too for a traditional blade in what appears to be top condition. If I collected officer swords, this would be an irresistible package. Good luck with the sale. 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 Yes, you really don't see Type 94 of this quality very often and usually they were owned by high ranking officers or wealthy individuals. Quote
